ST GEORGE’S DAY COMPETITION 19 APRIL 2025
The first competition of the season took place on Saturday, with some 30 members attending.
The party started shortly before 11 with, in accordance with tradition, the loyal toast for St George (proposed once again by Ian Clark).
There were 20 players this year, divided into 2 divisions, with each team playing 4 matches of 9 ends.
Play moved along at a jolly pace because although it was mainly sunny and pleasant to view, it was really quite cold (although that did not stop our intrepid players!).
With breaks for refreshments and lunch, and we were able to keep up with the schedule and the final, played to 21, began about 3.20 between the winners of each league –
Sally McMahon and Ron Wilson & Marjorie Morgan and Ian Clark.
Unfortunately, most of this match was played in light rain ( as well as the cold).
Although Marjorie and Ian, took an early lead, they faltered halfway through and eventually lost 21 – 13.
The prize presentations were made by the Club President, Jean Walker.
On behalf of the Club we thank Carol (Club Captain) for her organising, and Bob Langley and everyone else who assisted with preparation, refreshments and cakes, washing up and clearing away at the end.
